12V usb recommendations
« on: August 20, 2018, 05:27:54 PM »
Anyone run a 12V usb outlet on their classic?
I'm looking for an outlet but don't want a mounted one so will probably just tuck/secure it behind the headlight and also pick up feed/earth from headlight bowl.

Can anyone recommend one from usage/experience. There are a lot to choose from  ::)
TIA Peter

I just picked one up from eBay for my sat nav, but the first one I bought had a small LED in it and flattened the bike battery so I got a new one without an LED and also fitted a handle bar on/off switch just to make sure. Nothing special I just picked the cheapest.

 I got one either from Ebay or Amazon,it has blue LED and doesn't flatten the battery,even after several weeks ,use it to charge phone

fitted under seat,when in use it is out so the cable can pull out in an emergency

Just wire it into a switched hot wire (black) so it only comes on when the key is turned, no flat batteries from LEDs then
